    First, I realize this may be a long shot as it breaks with the original idea of Grid/Grid2.

    However, what I wish for is a module that can show multiple dispelable debuffs in a row, simular to http://www.wowace.com/addons/gridbufficons/ Possibly with blacklist/whitelist functionality.

    This is mainly directed at PVP, where I find this to be a huge advantage. To give an example where this is beneficial: A unit has Unstable Affliction or Vampiric Touch, but also a lot of other debuffs. Now you can determine the chance you dispel UA compared to the other debuffs. Or it may help you foresee incoming damage or kill target switches.

    Hope you take it into consideration, thanks.

    The main issue is: the request is incompatible with current Grid2 implementation. Its not posible to code an status/indicator to work in this way without rewritting most of current grid2 code. The only way  is to create an external addon that implements all stuff and hooks some grid2 functions to align the icon frames with each grid2 cell:  this is what gridbufficons do.

    This stuff will never be implemented in grid2 core, maybe i could code and external plugin, but
    i must have a very boring day, this means i could implement this stuf in a week, a month, a year or never, i dont know, sorry.

    Thanks for your reply. This is totally fine and how I expected it to be.

    I will also try to write this as an external plugin, but I don't know how successful I will be :)
